If you want Rosea that will give you absolute satisfaction from the day they are planted, we

 May until severe freezing weather. We have seen them unfold perfect flowers even after a severe 

 snow-storm. Of dwarf, stocky, uniform growth, they possess valuable qualities found in no other 

 Roses. There are other Roses as good, but certainly none better. Be sure to try thtm. 

 CLOTHILDE SOUPERT— The best Rose known for bedding or pot culture. Color a French white, 

 deepening to a rosy-blush in the center, exceeding in distinctness of shadings the well-known 

 Malmaison, Its greatest value lies in its compact, vigorous habit and wonderful profusion of 

 bloom, even the smallest plants being literally covered with flowers. The form and substance of 

 the flowers are so perfect that the hottest weather does not cause deterioration of either, so that 

 even in mid-summer a bouquet of splendid buds and open flowers can be obtained from this fine 

 variety. Too much cannot be said in praise of this Rose for bedding purposes. It deservedly earned 

 its title of the "Premier Bedding Rose." Valuable as it is for garden purposes, it is even more so 

 for pot culture, and ranks first for blooming in the house. It is entirely exempt from the diseases 

 usually aflFecting Roses in the house. 

 MOSELLA (YellowSoupert)— Fully as free blooming as Clothilde Soupert or Pink Soupert. and like 

 them, a strong, dwarf, bushy grower. Flowers are very double and of the same Camellia-like form 

 as Clothilde Soupert. Buds exceedingly dainty and attractive. The color is white on beautiful 

 light yellow ground, which becomes a chrome yellow in the center of the flower. Hardy, without 

 protection as far north as Philadelphia with a mulch of leaves or straw it can be grown almost any- 

 where that other roses succeed. 

 PINK SOUPERT— A lovely everblooming rose, as beautiful as Clothilde Soupert, but deeper color; 

 medium size flowers, perfectly full and double; blor ms all the time; color, fine rose pink, but vari- 

 able. The same bush frequently bears flowers of different colors at the same time; grows low and 

 bushy and is quite hardy. 

 When an entire collection is not desired, selection of any of the varieties offered in this collection 

 may be made at the following rates: 10c each; three for 28c; six for 50c 



The Famous ^^Baby^' Rambler Rose. 



{Madame Norbert Levavasseur.) 



This is decidedly the greatest Rose novelty of recent years. It was first sent out under the name 

 of MADAME NORBERT LEVAVASSEUR and is a cress between Crimson Rambler and Glory of Polyan- 

 thus; retaining the color and extreme hardiness of the former with the exceedingly free flowering 

 and dwarf habit of the latter. 



The descriptive name of this grand variety, DWARF CRIMSON RAMBLER, is very appropriate; 

 for the plant is truly a dwarf grower, and the flowers have the same biight crimson color of the 

 climbing Crimson Rambler, and the fame of the parent really belongs to it. 



It is a dwarf, erect-growing Rose, forming a bu?h about two feet high when fully grown, and 

 is a true everbloomer, producing splendid clusters of beautiful rich crimson flowers during the whole 

 growing season, when planted outdoors. 



The flowers are borne in elegant clusters; as many as 30 and 40 flowers to a cluster. 



Baby Rambler is a Superb Rose for Pot Culture, 



As a bedding variety none possess more points of genuine merit than the Baby Rambler. A 

 single plant, grown in a pot, is a marvel in neatness, compactness and wonderfully profuse and a 

 constant blooming quality. Indeed, they will never be without flowers if kept in a growing con- 

 dition. As a pot plant for winterblooming, either in the conservatory or home, it is unequalled. 



Baby Rambler as a Bedding Rose is the most unique and valuable ever introduced. It will soon 

 become just as popular and as extensively planted as the Climbing Rambler has been. As a bedder 

 it makes a low, symmetrical, attractive, plant, for bordering walks or planting in cemeteries, where 

 tall-growing varieties are objectionable. With Baby Rambler the brilliant efl'ect of the bright crim- 

 son flowers is presented during the entire growing season. 



Baby Rambler is perfectly hardy and requires no winter care. It will improve each year if 

 given reasonable care. No garden, no matter how small or large, should be without it. All lovers 

 of beautiful Roses will want it. There is no Rose in existance thit eq-ials it in freedom of bloom 

 and perpetual blooming qualities. Planted in the open ground they will be constantly in bloom, 

 even during the hottest weather. Price, 12 cts. each; two for 20 cts., postpaid.
